Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1000R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router
The Firetide HotPoint 1000R outdoor wireless mesh router brings all of
the benefits of Firetide’s instant mesh networking to outdoor and long
range applications. With its extended operating range and NEMA 4
certified enclosure, this rugged version of Firetide’s HotPoint wireless
mesh router enables mesh networks to operate in outdoor environments
and to span great distances for both rural and metro applications. The
HotPoint 1000R provides two weatherproof Ethernet ports for
provisioning Ethernet instantly without the need for a wired backhaul.
Eliminating the wired backhaul enables the installation of outdoor
networking equipment—such as weatherized access points, computers,
and surveillance cameras-virtually anywhere at a fraction of the time and
cost associated with installing wired outdoor solutions.
Firetide mesh networks provide a reliable, flexible, and scalable
alternative to standard LAN cabling. Because they form automatically
without wires, Firetide mesh networks do not require elaborate site
surveys or physical modifications to buildings and landscaping. Outdoor
network installation costs will drop dramatically because time-consuming
trenching and cable pulling between buildings is no longer needed.
Provisioning is also easy and fast because special drivers, setup,
interfaces, and configurations are not required for equipment to connect
to a Firetide instant mesh network.
